This is one of the items in the "Undecided by country" section of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories). It needs to be resolved with some urgency as there are several duplicate categories at present. Most of the categories are in the form "nationality ships". I think this is preferable because ships are often anthropomorphized. The likes of "Ships of Poland" sounds ugly to me, and is certainly not normal usage. So rename/merge all to "X ships". If this proposal gets a vote or two I will go through and tag all the categories. CalJW 20:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC) reply

This category should have "Nobel" added to the beginning of its title, since "Prize" is rather nondescript. Suggest renaming to Category:Nobel Prize in Economics winners. -- tomf688{ talk} 19:58, 11 October 2005 (UTC) reply

Add "South" as per the nomination below and "television" for clarity because that is what this category is for. So rename category:South Korean television drama. CalJW 19:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC) reply

- I'm in the process of reorganising the Korea, South Korea, and North Korea menus so that articles can easily be reached from any of them and categories contain what they say they contain. Many aspects of culture are best dealt with at all-Korea level, but in television a distinction is valuable as it largely or entirely post-dates division and the contrast between the television of the two Korean states is stark. And all the articles appear to be about South Korean series, so rename category:South Korean television series. CalJW 19:47, 11 October 2005 (UTC) reply

This has just been through one vote and was closed as "no consensus". But a vote which leaves an illiterate and non-standard name in place when not a single person supported it merely exposes the weaknesses of Wikipedia's collaborative processes, and does not endorse the status quo. So please let's not have any quibbles this time, just a change to a coherent name. The proposed form is the predominant one for such categories. If you have would prefer a different name, how about letting it at least get put into this form first to avoid Wikipedia looking illiterate, and then proposing another form in a third vote? This process is very poor for dealing with multiple options as there are often too few votes after the extra option is thrown into the mix for a concensus between three options to become apparent.

These categories are all named in American English, which is a breach of the policy that British and American English have equal status in Wikipedia. Cinemas are never called "movie theatres" in the UK and some other countries.

I realize this is yet another mass nomination, but it's really an all-or-nothing question. The United States is not the only country to have Amendments (or even Amendment-related case law) - see Second Amendment, Thirteenth Amendment, Twenty-seventh Amendment, and most of those in between. I propose that all "X Amendment case law" categories be changed to "United States X Amendment case law". BD2412 talk 03:22, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
